Navizo

Plan routes, keep the details and track costs, alone or together.

the friction

The problem

Every group trip I planned ended up split across a chat, a shared note, a spreadsheet for costs and a dozen pinned places on a map. Nobody had the full picture, and the person organising carried it all in their head.

I wanted one place that holds the plan, the costs and the people, and that is pleasant enough to open on a phone over hotel wifi.

the thinking

Decisions along the way

  1. i thought aboutAsking for an account before someone has planned anything feels like a wall.

    so i builtYou can start a trip straight away. The draft is kept on the device and saved to your account when you sign in, so signing up feels like keeping something rather than a gate.

  2. i thought aboutThe first screen is judged in a second, often on slow connections.

    so i builtThe landing sky is a gradient painted in CSS, not a photograph, so it appears as soon as the stylesheet arrives with no image request at all.

  3. i thought aboutLight and dark mode usually feel like two different apps.

    so i builtThemes are treated as weather: the same sky tokens become a clear afternoon or dusk, and the interface itself stays neutral.

  4. i thought aboutTrip photos come from Unsplash, and photographers deserve the credit.

    so i builtEach trip stores its image and the author’s name, and the credit sits quietly on the trip card.

what's next

What I'd do next

  • Split costs between travellers, with a running balance.
  • An offline-friendly itinerary for days with no signal.
  • Suggested places based on where you are staying.
